Understanding Your Fees
To provide further clarity, let’s delve into a sample fee calculation:
| Strategy Name: | Sample Strategy |
|---|---|
| Minimum Investment | $1,000 |
| Volume Fee | $5 per one million USD |
| Performance Fee | 20% of net profit using a High-Water Mark model |
| Management Fee | 5% of investor’s equity |
Volume Fee Calculation: Assuming total volume copied is $3,000,000: Volume Fee = ($3,000,000 / 1,000,000) * $5 = $15
Performance Fee Calculation: Assuming the investor’s net profit is $1,500: Performance Fee = $1,500 * 20% = $300
Management Fee Calculation: Assuming the investor’s equity is $10,000: Management Fee = ($10,000 / 100) * 5% = $50
